Where does my path start?
There are two paths to transfer for this major depending on your personal preferences:
A) Associate in Applied Arts & Sciences (AAAS) in Health Informatics and Information Management at Shoreline. This allows you to work in the field. You can continue a Bachelor degree program while working.
B) Study a general degree first, the Associate of Arts - Direct Transfer Agreement (AA-DTA), followed by a Health Informatics major at a university.
For option B use the AA-DTA Degree Planning Guide with the information below, or for option A go to the Health Information Technology, AAAS Planning Guide to understand the requirements for graduation.
Once you complete your Shoreline degree, you can transfer to a four-year school to earn a Bachelor’s degree. The AAAS in HIT (option A) program prepares students to take the Registered Health Information Administration (RHIA) national certification exam.
